Novel System of Forgery.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Harry IT.
Cook, aged about 81, and Charles II.
Cook, his brother, some years younger,
were arrested here this afternoon, the
elder for forgery and the younger for col
fusion. Their plan of operations was
novel and ingenious, and but for an over
sight which they might easily have avoid
ed, they could have gone on indefinitely
in their course. Harry was a discount
clerk in the Columbia National bank,
where he had access to the signatures and
accounts Of the banks patrons. 1t has
been shown by investigation that some
time ago he disguised himself. and under
IN assumed name opened an account in
another bank. He then forged the name
Of one Of the Columbia bank dcpositors
to q series Of checks payable to himself
under his assumed name, and got his
younger brother to deposit them TO his
account The checks, after they had been
returned to the Columbia bank for col.
lection, and after they had been paid
and entered In the books, were secured by
the forger and destroyed. The c%ulprits
are sons of the late Prof. Cook, of this
CITY.

Shot by HoodIums.

New YORK, Aug. Eddie Zander,
aged H. his brother Henry, aged L., and
James Sullivan, aged s., started from
Hoboken this morning to gather buckle
berries in the woods. To night the IAN
der boys returned badly wounded, and
said a gang of young hoodlums had de.
manded the berries they had gathered.
They started to run when a shot was fired
and all three fell wounded. The brothers
finally managed to walk home, but they
think their companion was killed. A
searching party has started out to find
the Sullivan boy. The flanders are badly
wounded with buckshot but will probably

PETERSBURG, Va, Aug. 22.-The Nir-
ginia Republican state committee has
issued an address to Republican electors,
the first part of which is in answer to an
address recently put forth by the Demo
cratic managers. After referring to the
Endorsement of President Cleveland and
that his administration will receive cordial
support by the Democratic party of Viz
ginia, the address states that the Demo
Gratis are inconsistent and insincere, as
they demand the repeal of the internal
revenue system and the passage of the
Blair bill, when it is known that Presi-
dent Cleveland is opposed to the one and
withheld his Endorsement from the other.
His formal and expressed approval of
Secretary M%anning's views and recom-
mendations upon the subject of taxation
and revenue is conclusive. Secretary
Manning deprecates that there is no
longer any duty or tax imposed upon tea
and coffee, and while urging a reduction
of duties Upon such articles of import as
are produced in our country, he squarely
opposes any reduction of taxes imposed
upon tobacco, fruit distillatiOn and whisky.
President Cleveland approves these views
and recommendations OF Secretary Man
ming.
The address says the Republicans has
always been faithful to the agricultural
interests Of the state and reminds the
people that Secretary Naming recon
mended the repeal of the tariff on wheat,
corn and other farm products, and that
tea and coffee should be taxed as Injuries.
As Mr. Cleveland indorses this and The
Democratic party Endorsed Cleveland, we
ask the farmers to consider this declara-
ton.
The address arraigns the Democracy for
lncOmpetency and untaithfulncss which
caused the failure of the act of the Re-
publican legislature for an equitable re-
adjustment of the state debt. The Re-
publican party will cheerfully unite in
every effort to aid disabled soldiers and
widows. The address denies that the
Democratic party founded or are respon
sible for efficient management of the free
school system.
The address arraigns Governor Lee for
his many shortcomings, and then touches
upon finances by asking what became of
the 81, 500, 7i2 which was in the treasury
in 1883, when the Democrats re-entered
the capitol, and what has been done with
the taxes since collected, amounting to
over ten million dollars, and why there is
now so little money in the treasury, with
yet an accumulation of overdue and I'm
paid interest in the sane periods, and in
creasing the state debt four and a half
millions. The people have the right to
know why the annual costs of admins.
tering the government have increased
from 1902, 900 to over 81 $50, 600.

Russ1a's Opposition to Ferdinand.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 22.-It is off
clally announced that the government has
sent a circular to the powers declaring
that 1t is unable to recognize the validity
OF Prince Ferdlnand's election to the
throne of Bulgaria. According to the
circular, Prince Ferdinand acquainted the
car with the fact of his election, and re-
quested permission to visit St. Petersburg
IN order to learn the cars wishes before
going to Bulgaria. The car replied that
the princes election would not be recog-
nized by Russia, and that the prince could
by no pretext Justify his journey to Bull
garia. The circular, in conclusion, ex-
presses the hope that Bulgarian people
will coincide with Russia's views, and not
permit a fragrant violation of the Berlin
treaty.
The Moscow Gazette says the Russian
circular to the powers regarding Prince
Ferdinand has given great satisfaction
throughout Russia. 1t believes Prince
Ferdinand's retirement now to be inevi-
table, and says if he does not leave Bull
garia Russia will renounce her obligations
under the Berlin treaty, which she has
always regarded as a bitter deception after
a glorious war"

Raising Money for a Revival.

LOUISVILLE, Aug. 22.-Rev, Richard
Hunt, a colored shepherd who guards the
spiritual welfare of a small flock near
Nashville, wanted to hold a revival. The
expense was light, but the congregation
was too poor to pay anything. Accord
ingly,. the over jealous pastor visited a
neighbor's pastor and stole a COW, which
he drove to Nashville and sold, using the
money to carry on his revival. He had
secured fifteen converts and had six
promising subjects on the mourners' bench
when a constable stepped in and spoiled
it all BY arresting him for the theft of the
COW.

Tho Number of Perfect Seeds PrOduc,

We work hard during the early part
of the spring and summer months to fl.
the ground for the various crops, and
guard with jealous care. the tender

to keep down and destroy weeds. We
are surprised to see, soon after a fresh

and healthy as the first. We wonder
where they can possibly come from.
There is an adage that Zone years

Plants, like animals that are left to
shift for themselves, will, in Il few
generations, by Natural Selection"
and Survival OF the Fittest," assume
forms which are capable of contending
with adverse circumstances, and so re-
produce their kind, and unless held in
check would overrun district. The
dissemination Of seeds, as the thistle
and dandelion, which have pappus, or
winged seeds, is very easily accounted
for. The wind carries them across
field and garden, and they find suita-
bic place to germinate; but of some of
the larger and heavier seeds, it seems
hard to account for the widespread
dissemination. Birds have much to do
with scattering seeds. Also, many are
carted out on the fields in manure, and
if all grew that ripened in out-of-the-
way places-in fence corners and road
sides-we should indeed have our hands

Destructiyeness of Insects.

In recent lecture. Prof A. j. Cook,
in discussing the rapid increase of in
furious insects, said: There are two
prominent reasons why insects are so
increasing in numbers, and in their
ravages. First, as is true with cut
worms, the locusts and the curculio
we are destroying their native food
plant, and they are rapidly learning
year by year that our cultivated plants
are just as wholesome, and even more
toothsome, than their old aliment which
we have ruthlessly destroyed. Again,
we are constantly introducing new in
sect pests from over the sea, which
prove to be more destructive than in
their old homes, and more than rivals
for our native insects with like habits.
